Welcome! This blog began as an assignment in a digital art class. That was in 2008. I decided to keep it going as my art journal. It is fascinating for me to see how a painting develops, so this is where I post my painting progressions and exciting new things I find on creative blogs and websites. I hope you will learn along with me about painting, drawing and all kinds of art.

Perfect title for your GORGEOUS painting, Teri! Your color palette is so beautiful!! I want to pitch a tent right there and stay for a good long while.And thanks for sharing the photos (awesome bald eagle)! Love Carole Baker's work, too!!Great post.

Hi Lisa! The residency program is not just for Alaskans. There was a woman from Atlanta, Georgia there before Siobhan and Carole! I blogged about her: Maureen Engle - on July 11 - here - http://terirobus.blogspot.com/2017/07/gruening-cabin-artist-in-residence.htmlI think I have a link on that day to the artist-in-residence program, but here it is for you, too - http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/asp/artistinresidence.htmYes! You should do it! I haven't applied yet. I never know when we will be traveling. Let me know if you cannot get to the site. And thanks so much for writing! Love following you on Insta and fb!

I was lucky to get the shot of the eagle taking off. They are getting fat eating all the salmon (there is a record chum run here from DIPAC - officially the "Ladd MacCauley Fish Hatchery" - near downtown Juneau). The bears are fattening up on them too! ... he wasn't there while we were but soon after, Carol and her husband saw a brown bear fishing right there on the rocks near where we were painting!!! (Brownies are not all that common around Juneau, it is mostly the domain of black bear.)
